An 18-month conditional discharge was imposed on Crowder of Stanhope Crescent, Arnold, who admitted theft of food and toys worth £248 from the Top Valley branch on October 24.

She must pay £85 prosecution costs and a £20 government surcharge at a rate of £5 weekly.

Presiding magistrate Keith Hollingworth, who chaired a bench of three, told her: "Your solicitor has talked candidly about your position. We are going to take a risk with you. You have to stay out of trouble for 18 months."
